Skiddy Work
I had some tidying up to do in the area Barry and I were working in clearing for firewood cutting up in the forest. I figured Skiddy might do a better job than the dozer to do that so I headed up into the forest today on Skiddy.
Big Stumps
On the way I went past these two big stumps and knocked the one on the right down and off the road as it was barely hanging there and not real safe. I left the other bigger one on the left as it seemed to be imbedded real well and was too large to move easily.
Firewood cutting area
I made it to the firewood cutting area and pushed some of the dead brush out of the way to open things up a bit.
I pushed some brush off the road in this area that Barry had cut the other day and then worked my way home and got there around five thirty.
I was a bit beat but still had one more thing to do.
Planting the avocado tree
Some rain is coming in tomorrow so I thought it would be a good idea to get the new avocado tree planted.
I got the wheelbarrow out and hauled some mulch to the spot to build a mound to plant the tree in. I’m planting the new tree right close to the old one to help in pollination.
I made this hole in the pile of mulch to plant the tree in.
The tree is planted and I had some wire to put around it to help keep the chickens from digging all the mulch out. The circle of wire was a bit small for the mulch pile so I found a remedy.
I used some of the smaller branches off the big avocado tree we trimmed yesterday to help keep the chickens out and I will add a little more of then later.
I’m ready for the rains now, so let it rain.
Nice day.
